Having quite enjoyed the modern remake of The Prisoner, I thought I'd better watch the original series. Only a few episodes in so far but loving it, and can't believe I never watched it before. So what other classic TV shows might I have missed out on?


Thinking I might have to get my hands on the Avengers just to letch at Dianna Rigg.

The Persuaders - Forgot about that, I've seen a few episodes, bight have to dig a few out and see what I think. That's also reminde me I should probably take a look at The Saint too.

Man in a suitcase - Not heard of that one, Wikipedia reckons it was a replacement for McGoohan's Danger Man. Is that any good as well?

Hawaii Five-0 - Seen the odd clip, but don't think Ive' seen any whole episodes




It seems my classic TV education is sorelay lacking. I'm from the Donald P Bellisario and Glen A Larson generation so a lot of good stuff passed me by biggrin
